APPARATUS FOR PACKING EMERY-WHEELS AND SIMILAR ARTICLES FOR BURNING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,469, dated October 30, 1883.

Application filed August 9,1883. (No model.)

' for Packing Emery-VVheels and Similar Articles for Burning, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to packing wheels and similar articles in sand, as has been long practiced, to prevent such articles from warping, sagging, 0r swaying. In thus packing them on fiat beds with movable rings, it is difficult to prevent the sand from flowing away from parts or the whole edge of the wheel before the ring is put in place and filled, and when filled those parts do not fill so as to prevent the wheel sagging out of true.

Our invention is designed to overcome these failures and furnish an even bed on which the article is laid, not liable to change, and the ring is put in place and stays as put, insuring a changeless support for the wheel or other article while burning. Its nature .is fully shown in the following description of the drawings, illustrating a bed and ring embodying our invention. 1

In said drawings, Figureil shows a plan of filled as desired, without danger of the sand the ring and bed; Fig. 2, a cross-section of the same, with a wheel in broken lines on the sand.

A is the bed, made with its center depressed, as shown, as deep as may be required,for sand between the articles, and its raised edge provided with a ridge, B, on which a groove in the segments of the ring 0 O C, fitting on the same, gives them a retaining hold, preventing the sand from pressing them out or spreading.

In packing, the bed is filled and leveled off, the wheel is laid on, and ring put in place and 40 underneath being at all disturbed" What we claim as new and desire to patent 1. The recessed bed described, constructed and operating substantially as set forth.

2. The bed and ring made with a ridge and groove for packing articles for burning, sub stantially as described.

3. The recessed bed described, in combination with a ring having a groove or ridge fit 5o ting thereon, substantially as above set forth.
